GATE symposium

10 June GATE symposium - challenging students

Tournament of Minds  see website and look at youtube. Not too late to give it a go in 2016 or go and look at the tournament day in 2016. At St Andrews, 12 schools in 2016- more thaan one team per school often.

Year 1 - just give it a go; how would it work for our school; there are faciliatator workshops and student workshops and are working on communication via skype and reaching schools in all centres. The long challenge is entirely student lead- maybe extracurricular  maybe curricular.

What is the teams process for prblem solving- team skills, creativity., sponteneity: need a diverse range of skills in a group. includes a dramatic presentation- marked square; 10 minutes, wear black- must make own props, costumes if used. 

Research :body smart- david Lazar? there was a good graphic of different types of smart, and you need diffeent kinds of smart in a group.
